Wave of gun arrests on Capitol Hill, including for a gun in baby stroller, as tourists return

CBS News' review found the people arrested include an Iowa man who was accused of carrying a gun in a bag attached to the baby stroller.

On Monday, a 43-year-old Texas man was stopped while carrying a semiautomatic handgun at an entrance to the U.S. Capitol Visitor's Center. A police report said the man told officers he didn't know the gun was in his bag. He'll face a series of charges, including possession of an unregistered firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition and possession of a high-capacity feeding device.

On Wednesday, a Washington, D.C., man pleaded guilty to a criminal charge, weeks after he was stopped with a semiautomatic handgun, loaded with 9-millimeter ammunition, at a checkpoint to the Longworth House Building. The police report said the man, at first, claimed the gun belonged to his wife, before he later told officers he'd purchased the gun "on the street" for $600 to protect his family.

Perhaps if they plead guilty to Highway Mopery, a misdemeanor, the gun charges would go away.
Just saying. Worked for Hunter.

So, illegal guns are still a thing in DC? Maybe if they forced criminals to provide background checks on every hot gun they sold, these things would be eliminated.

Need pics of the baby stroller.

Clever; may need to add that to the carry options. I like it.

ETA: Looks like it's about to be a thing in fact. And the Chinese are far, far ahead of us on this:

I know that's a piece of art and not really a thing, but.... Looks like a good way to get a deaf and handless baby.
